Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king

Chapter 204 The focus is on a man's sophistication!See how I, Tao Lu, defeat the enemy!

Meng Jian looked at Gao Jun, who was also the right servant of the household department.

Gao Jun was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Xuande's reign. He was promoted step by step from the Ministry of Household Affairs to the right minister of the household department. Now that there is a vacancy for the left minister, Gao Jun will soon be able to fill the position of the left minister.

Geng Jiuchou looked at Gao Jun.

Gao Jun trembled: "It has nothing to do with the official, the official doesn't know!"

Geng Jiuchou grabbed Meng Jian's only remaining ear, making a gesture to scratch it off.

"Ask Gao Jun, ask Gao Jun!"

Meng Jian screamed.

Geng Jiuchou kicked Meng Jian away.

Violently, he brought the old and frail Gao Jun over, put the knife on his ear: "Say!"

madman?

This Geng Jiuchou is not like a literati, but more like a factory guard!
Gao Jun tremblingly said: "I still need to ask Shen Yi about this matter."

Shen Yi was originally the servant of the Nanjing household department, and was transferred to Beijing not long ago.

"You can kick the ball!"

Geng Jiuchou grabbed Gao Jun's ear and slapped him hard.

"Ah!" Gao Jun screamed incessantly.

The ears were cut off raw.

Gao Jun rolled on the ground in pain, but Geng Jiuchou put the blade on his neck: "Move again? Try?"

Gao Jun twitched all over and shook his head at Geng Jiuchou, not daring to move.

But it hurts too much.

"Don't blame each other, just say it!" Geng Jiuchou patted Gao Jun's head with the blade of the knife.

Gao Jun's head was buzzing.

"This is an open account, and there is a dark account..."

Gao Jun said that the real oil and water of the Ministry of Household Affairs lies in the Department of Cleaning Officials.

Therefore, in the hands of the left and right servants, there will be a secret account, which is a secret account that the local government pays tribute to the Department of Cleaning Officials of the Ministry of Households.

The open account is for the higher-ups to read, and the dark account is for the accounting department to read.

Geng Jiuchou understood.

No wonder he has been in charge of the household department for several months, but he always feels that everyone above and below him is perfunctory.

It turned out that he didn't have a secret account.

"Who held the dark account in the past?" Geng Jiuchou wanted to find out.

"It was in the hands of Zhang Shangshu before." How dare Gao Jun hide it.

Zhang Feng?

Anger flickered in Geng Jiuchou's eyes: "Bring the secret account, check it!"

"My lord, do you really want to investigate?"

Snapped!
Geng Jiuchou slapped Gao Jun's face hard with the blade of the knife: "It is because of moths like you that the country has been losing money year after year!"

"check!"

"Today, the official must investigate clearly and give the world a satisfactory explanation!"

Geng Jiuchou went all out.

How could he completely control the household department without finding out?

Don't look at him as reckless, in fact, Geng Jiuchou has his own calculations, the emperor's order to clean up the household department is false, and the beating of civil officials is true.

In fact, he wanted to completely clear all the ministries so that the emperor could completely control the six ministries.

This is the real purpose.

The secret account is in Shen Yi's hands.

He took it out of the floor tiles.

Geng Jiuchou looked at him.

Shen Yi knelt down on the ground: "My lord, you are not stupefied in the officialdom, don't you know the way inside?"

Geng Jiuchou casually flipped through two pages, and suddenly became angry.

"You guys are crazy! Dare to move any money?"

This account is shocking.

If it is reported, the household department will definitely be full of people.

"My lord, without this money, how can the officials of the household department support themselves?" Meng Jian asked him foolishly.

All the officials in the Ministry of Household Affairs lowered their heads and remained silent.

"How much do you participate in the matter of ordnance?" Geng Jiuchou knew that it really broke the sky.

"The Ministry of Household Affairs has absolutely no involvement, not at all!"

Meng Jian immediately said: "These are all filial piety. The whole household department just turned a blind eye and did not participate directly."

For example, in the fifth year of Jingtai, Zhejiang was investigated. The clear account of the Ministry of Households stated that 120 taels of Wenyin had been paid, and the hidden account said that 78 taels of Wenyin had been paid!

What about money?

Not only the household department was corrupt, but the cabinet department and eunuchs all took their due share.

Originally, Zhejiang's officialdom should have suffered a major earthquake.

However, because of making false accounts, Zhejiang Province is safe and sound.

This is hello, me, hello, everyone.

Only Daming is not good.

But who will care about Daming's life and death?
Change the pot and eat as usual.

"Meng Jian, Meng Jian, you are also a talent. You have fought against pirates in Guangzhou, checked border reserves in Shanxi, and paid the prime minister's salary in Huguang. You are capable of everything."

"How could you say such innocent things?"

"The Ministry of Households is in charge of the world's wealth. If you open your eyes and close your eyes, how many kingdoms' wealth will disappear invisibly!"

"You are from Jinshi!"

"Emperor Xuanzong loves you so much?"

"The current emperor trusts you so much!"

"How can you say such shameless words in such an understatement!"

Geng Jiuchou roared.

He looked around the entire household department: "When I went to Beijing to resume my experience, I just couldn't see the power in the middle of the court, the court was incompetent, that's why I left the place."

"Now that I have returned to the center, I thought Daming would be completely new!"

"It turns out that the official is lying to himself!"

"It's the official who is blind!"

"It turns out that Hun Nie is still the same Hun Nie, but there is a curtain in front of my eyes!"

"Everyone in the world knows it, but this official, the Minister of the Household Department, doesn't know it!"

"It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous!"

"I was in the Fengtian Palace, and I was not ashamed, and I assured His Majesty, only to find out that my household department is the dirtiest one!"

Geng Jiuchou sat on the ground slumped, tears streaming down his face.

Meng Jian knew that there was no way out.

He smirked a few times: "Who has never been young? Who has never had an ideal and fought for it?"

"But, if you have ideals, can you not eat or drink?"

"Can you be free from nepotism?"

"Can you completely annihilate human relationships?"

"cannot!"

"Geng Jiuchou, I tell you, you can't!"

Meng Jian yelled at him: "If you are not greedy, can your family fill your stomach? Can you pay attention to ostentation when you travel? Can you not hire a servant when you travel and enter the house?"

"Isn't this money?"

"Which family doesn't have three aunts and six young masters, who doesn't have a relative in straw sandals? who doesn't have a relative who doesn't live up to expectations?"

"He comes to ask you for a position, can you accept it?"

"He came to ask you for some money. Can you not lend it to him?"

"He came to beg you for help, can you not help?"

"Who in this world can be a saint? Who can not ask, borrow, help or ask? Is it possible?"

Meng Jian burst into tears and cried: "Who in this world doesn't need to be unfaithful."

"it is good!"

"Don't talk about personal matters."

"Just talk about business."

"When you go to the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Rites to handle affairs, why do others greet you with a smile? Why are they willing to help you with your affairs?"

"Do you think it's because of your official authority? Is it because you're afraid of offending you?"

"no!"

"This is a favor! This is a friendship made with money!"

"Without money, who cares about your feelings, who cares whether you have to work or not? Who cares whether the Ming Dynasty is dead or not!"

"Everyone is just beating the clock for a day as a monk!"

Meng Jian broke apart the so-called worldly wisdom, and said:

"Geng Jiuchou, come and tell me, the Ministry of Households is not greedy, where did the money come from?"

"Are you relying on rewards from the court?"

"Don't you think it's ridiculous? Do you mean it?"

Meng Jian smiled and cried, "Do I really want to be greedy?"

"Haven't I read the sage book?"

"I was born a villain? A jerk? A corrupt official?"

"no!"

"Geng Jiuchou!"

"You are not greedy, you are a saint, so no one can support you? Geng Jiuchou!"

"It's me, the people like Hubu, who support you! Let you be this saint!"

"Without us, you, Geng Jiuchou, are nothing!"

"it is good!"

"I'm greedy, I'll take it! I abandoned the book of sages, I forgot my ideals, I'm not worthy of being a human being!"

"But the money is shared among everyone."

"How much did I, Meng Jian, take back?"

"Go and see my house! My second son's dowry is still missing! Even my in-laws look down on me!"

"I, Meng Jian, am greedy!"

"But I, Meng Jian, want to be upright!"

"I am worthy of heaven and earth!"

After Meng Jian roared, he slammed his head against the wall.

Bang!
Blood splattered and the person fell to the ground softly.

Geng Jiuchou looked at Meng Jian stupidly, not knowing what to say.

Gao Jun's tears couldn't stop, he raised his head: "Master Shang Shu, Master Meng did not lie, in order to collect the gift money, his youngest daughter married a merchant."

Meng Jian is stupid enough for the dignified right servant of the household department, a scholar who was born as a Jinshi, to marry his daughter to a merchant.

Geng Jiuchou didn't know what to say?

He was not that kind of upright official.

But he believes that although the emperor is cruel, he is a promising Ming emperor. The people in the court and the people are in full bloom, the world should take on a new look, and the Ming Dynasty will flourish.

In the end, he discovered that the world is still the same world, and has not changed because of the efforts of a few people.

Meng Jian did not take much, only a few 10 taels of silver.

It is not as greedy as a local magistrate.

However, to be greedy is to be greedy.

"Calculate the account book, I will report to the palace!" Geng Jiuchou looked sluggish.

And in Guangxi.

Tao Lu was enjoying himself in the chieftain village of Guling.

Gu Lingqin's family is considered a half-Sinicized chieftain, but the more Sinicized he is, the more he resists Daming.

The entire Ensi Mansion and Tianzhou Mansion are under the control of Gu Lingtan's family, with more than [-] soldiers, even the court has to be appeased.

Qin Shu once participated in Emperor Taizong's conquest of Annan, but was just a small commander.

50 years later, he became the emperor of the land of the two prefectures.

"My lord, I am the commander appointed by the imperial court."

"Why did the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi suddenly attack the hinterland of Ming Dynasty regardless of the reason?"

"Is it possible to rebel?"

Qin Shu bit back.

Tao Lu smiled and said, "My lord governor suppressed the bandits, but by mistake they went to your company's territory."

"But the owner of your company is unwilling to let it go, and even takes in bandits."

"Because the governor was furious, he decided to give those village masters a little bit of power!"

Qin Shu admired this kid a little bit, he could really turn black and white.

He is obviously very young, but in front of him, he is comfortable and unafraid.

With this tolerance, most people don't have it.

"This is an imperial decree, and the Governor-General is also obeying orders." Tauru added.

The implication is that Fang Ying is just fooling around.

As long as he could get by, he would turn a blind eye.

All Ming officials are like this.

deceive.

Qin Shu understood that Fang Ying needed his cooperation to show off.

Immediately looked at Tao Lu with praise: "Listen to your accent, are you a local?"

"The student is from Yulin Prefecture."

"Then you and I are fellow villagers, have you ever been married?"

Tao Lu suddenly had a chill, and hurriedly said that he was married, but Qin Shu said: "My family has a granddaughter who is about the same age as you, and she can be your concubine."

This can't fix Tauru.

It's not that he looked down on the natives, but that the Ming army wanted to wipe out the Qin family, so how could he marry their granddaughter?
And Tan Shu was also scheming, using marriage to win over Tao Lu, just because he saw Tao Lu was young and thought he was a young man, so he used beauty to win him over, and let such a beautiful young man work for his Qin family.

"My lord, don't expect me to grow up like this, my granddaughter is beautiful."

Qin Shu asked Miss Sun to come here.

Soon, a little beauty arrived. She spoke Chinese with a local accent and was well-educated.

Tao Lu knew that if he did not agree, Qin Shu would not trust him.

"Then thank you for your kindness, my father-in-law!" Tao Lu was very shameless, and he was happy to have the beauty throw himself into his arms.

Qin Shu laughed out loud.

Having relatives makes things easier.

The two chatted happily.

"My son-in-law, can you really decide on this matter?" Tan Shu was still undecided.

Tao Lu promised that Chieftain Guling would send troops to Sicheng Prefecture and Qingyuan Prefecture, and all the captured items would be returned to Chieftain Guling, and the Governor's Mansion would support another two thousand firearms.

"This is the governor's letter. If my grandfather doesn't believe you, you should believe this letter, right?"

Tao Lu took out the order letter: "Besides, my son-in-law came to visit for the first time and brought two hundred firecrackers as a gift."

Qin Shu smiled on his bark-like face, and lost a big yellow front tooth, but he was the emperor of the two houses.

Firearms are a cool thing.

He also has them in his village, but they are all old stuff.

"That's all. This commander is willing to send [-] troops."

Tao Lu's face changed slightly, and he said with a smile: "My lord, my governor wants you to send [-] troops, and all supplies will be supplied by the governor's mansion."

"Good grandson-in-law, you are the grandson-in-law of my chieftain, Guling, you should benefit my family."

Qin Shu just wanted some more benefits.

He has 24 strong men in his hands, and he can push them to the battlefield when fighting. He wants to get some weapons from the Ming army, and the eliminated weapons will do.

Tao Lu said helplessly: "Since my grandfather said so, my son-in-law will ask the governor again to try to give your company more benefits."

"What is your company? It's our family!" Qin Shu feigned anger.

Tao Lu quickly responded.

That night, Chieftain Gu Ling warmly entertained Tao Lu and gave him two beauties to relieve his fatigue.

He returned to the governor's residence.

Make a plan with Fang Ying.

He rushed back to Baishan, and after some conversation, Qin Shu decided to send a hundred thousand troops to help.

The departure was scheduled for three days later, and Qin Shu asked his son to lead the army himself.

Tao Lu was left behind, under the pretense of being able to bond with his granddaughter, but in reality he was kept as a prisoner.

But as a prisoner, he was really comfortable, playing and singing every night.

Qin Shu was extremely cautious.

Worried about being stolen by the Ming army, after the army left, they stepped up patrols and sent out more scouts to make sure that Fang Ying led the army and left Ensi Mansion.

And that little messenger has been completely buried in the crowd of women, and has no big ambitions.

It's the appointed time.

That night, the drunken Tao Lu suddenly opened his eyes, one by one, and sent the two little beauties who were waiting for him on the road.

These two little beauties are Qin Shu's spies, and his every move will be reported.

Qin Shu also separated him from his subordinates and let the servants of the Qin family serve him.

He called several servants into the house and killed them all with one knife.

Then got out of the room.

He has lived in this village for nearly a month and is familiar with everything.

Tao Lu knew exactly when the sentry was on patrol, and he had calculated this road tens of thousands of times, and he had repeatedly deduced in his mind any possible accidents.

He quickly left the guest house.

Joining his people, he brought 1000 people, but most of them were placed outside the stockade, and only a dozen people were brought in.

"Tao Liu, go and open the gate of the village and welcome our people in."

"Others follow me!"

Tao Lu intends to learn from Ou Xin and use one trick to capture the thief first and the king first.

Tan Shu was worried about letting Tao Lu live in his own house, so he simply placed him in the guest house, but Tao Lu knew the Tan family very well.

He knew exactly which walls had dogs under them, and when the soldiers patrolled at night.

They all came out of the mouths of the servants of the Qin family.

Tao Lu was too young to climb over the big wall of Tan's house, so he just crawled through the dog's hole and gave the dog chicken legs that had been fed medicine.

The dog stopped barking, and he asked his men to jump in again.

All the way to Qin Shu's bedroom.

He slowly turned the door bolt with his knife.

Tao Lu overestimated his ability and underestimated Qin Shu's vigilance.

When the door latch jingled.

Qin Shu immediately opened his eyes, held the knife, and slowly approached the door.

But the moment the door was pushed open, he immediately stabbed him with a knife, and Tao Lu made a gesture to roll, the tip of the knife pierced his clothes, causing a little pain in his chest.

"Come here!" Tan Shu yelled.

Two soldiers rushed forward and pushed Qin Shu to the ground.

Tao Lu rushed forward and stuffed the shoe into Qin Shu's mouth: "Don't bark!"

Qin Shu glared at Tao Lu angrily.

Take all precautions, I didn't expect Tao Lu to risk his life to assassinate him.

"Send the signal, let people come in!"

Tao Lu went to take two people to the back house and arrested all Qin Shu's family members.

Qin Shu had two sons, one led the troops to go out with Fang Ying, the other guarded Tianzhou Mansion, the old house of the Tan family only had a few grandsons and granddaughters of Qin Shu.

"Son-in-law, don't be ridiculous, let me go." Tan Shu smiled at Tao Lu, and the shoe in his mouth fell off at some point.

Tao Lu wiped the sweat off his face, it was hot and tense, one foot was wearing shoes and the other was bare, he was so nervous that he didn't know it.

The signal was released, waiting for the army outside the village to come in.

"Tan Shu, you listen to the tune and not the announcement. Your Majesty's imperial decree wants to kill all of your Qin family, and return Ensi Mansion and Tianzhou Mansion to a bright future!"

Tao Lu sternly said.

Meanwhile, the local soldiers patrolling the Qin Mansion rushed in one after another, and Tao Lu picked up Qin Shu: "Whoever dares to come over, you dare to take a step forward, I will kill him!"

Qin Shu knew that he was planted.

But with Taolu's 1000 people, the foundation of Guling Tusi cannot be touched.

"All step down, this is my family's internal affairs, it's okay, all step down."

Qin Shu forced out a smile at Tao Lu, very magnanimous: "Grandson-in-law, do you want to be the king of these two mansions?"

"Grandpa promises you now that you will be the king of the two houses."

"how?"

Tao Lu drew a line of blood on his shoulder.

"Whose grandfather are you?" Tao Lu spit on Tan Shu's face.

Qin Shu snorted, "Don't tell me you really don't care about family affection?"

"I have a fart relationship with you?"

"Open your mouth to be a good son-in-law, shut up and be a good grandson-in-law!"

"But treat me like a prisoner, and be on guard at all times!"

"Besides, have you ever accepted your granddaughter?"

"It's really self-indulgent."

"I'll tell you again, the sluts you sent to me have already been killed by me!"

"You Qinshu, just surrender and capture him!"

Tao Lu pretended to look normal, portraying himself as a murderous maniac.

Qin Shu completely saw the true face of Tao Lu's hero.

He thought before that the child's mind was blown away by Se Yu.

But I don't think it's all just pretending.

"it is good!"

"Don't talk about family affection!"

"As far as strength is concerned, what can you do with more than 1000 people under your command?"

Qin Shu is also a hero: "I will give you another chance, let me go, I will send you out of the country as a gift, and this matter ends here!"

"Qin Shu, Qin Shu, you are so naive!"

Tao Lu sneered: "I put my head on the waistband of my trousers, playing with you?"

"Stop chattering!"

"Let all the soldiers put down their weapons and let my subordinates in!"

"I'll give you a quarter of an hour. If it's too late, I'll kill your grandson!"

Tao Lu shouted loudly.

He has indeed learned Ou Xin's fierceness and craziness.

Qin Shu didn't want to die.

Can't die either.

Once he dies, and one son is away and the other is in Tianzhou Mansion, Ensi Mansion will inevitably be in chaos, with disastrous consequences.

"Okay, let people in!" Qin Shu was trying to save himself.

but.

Tao Lu stabbed his thigh with a knife: "What are you thinking about?"

Qin Shu couldn't stand up in pain.

The soldiers in the courtyard kept shouting.

Tao Lu didn't know much when he heard it: "Shout again, I'll stab him again!"

The soldiers suddenly stopped.

Soon, Taolu's men came in.

Only [-] of them are guard soldiers, and the rest are natives gathered from various villages. They cannot be banned by orders and can only make do with them.

"Go out and set fire to the whole village!" Tao Lu ordered.

Use the flames of the sky to tell the soldiers in ambush outside that they can do it.

Qin Shu saw with his own eyes that the stronghold he had built with his own hands was ablaze with fire. His people fled one after another, and some died in the flames.

"Kill them! Leave me alone! Kill them!"

Qin Shu's eyes were blood red and he roared like a wild beast.

Tao Lu stabbed his other leg with a knife.

Blood spattered Tao Lu's face.

It looks like Shura.

"Try it!"

Tao Lu shouted sharply: "Let's see who will die first, or your family will be extinct first?"

"Drag one up and kill it!"

Tao Lu danced on the tip of the knife.

"I still have two sons, so what if a few of my grandchildren are dead? Kill them!"

Qin Shu yelled at his people: "Fuck me, kill them!"

However, the soldiers didn't know whether to do it or not.

Because Tao Lu was holding a child.

The kid was joking with him a few days ago.

He gritted his teeth, cut off with a knife, and threw a big head in front of those soldiers.

In poor local dialect, he said: "Whoever dares to take a step forward, I will kill Tan's family!"

The soldiers trembled.

Tao Lu was unyielding when he gained power: "Everyone obey my orders!"

Tao Lu was even more ruthless. After arresting Tan Shu, he had to let the soldiers of Chieftain Guling obey his orders.

"No!" Tan Shu was not stupid.

Tao Lu stabbed him in the leg again and shouted at the soldiers: "Kneel down!"

The people in these villages.

I have never been out of the mountains in my life, and I have been domesticated by the chieftain since I was a child, and I listen to the chieftain most.

Naturally, I am worried about the safety of the toast master.

Was yelled at by Tao Lu.

He actually knelt on the ground.

Tan Shu wanted to speak, but Tao Lu stuffed the sole of his shoe into his mouth again.

"Wang Shou, you lead them and join our army, go!" Tao Lu asked Wang Shou to take Tan Shu's grandson with him, and if the soldiers were disobedient, he would kill his grandson.

Those soldiers wanted to save Qin Shu, so they had to obey.

Tauru breathed a sigh of relief.

His mission is complete.

His whole body was covered in cold sweat, his hands and feet were soft, and everything was faked.

Only the ferocity when killing people is not pretended.

His father, Tao Cheng, trained him to be a wolf since he was a child, starting with killing chickens, pigs, cows, wolves, and people.

But this is the first time he has done such a big thing.

Being in the enemy camp, being able to do this is already good enough.

The sky was dim and bright.

The fire in the village was gradually extinguished, but there was a faint sound of hacking and killing.

Qin Shu looked at Tao Lu and asked him where did the Ming army come from?

"The Governor has indeed left Ensi Mansion."

"This Ming army came all the way from Xunzhou Mansion by my father."

Tao Lu finally smiled, and he took the sole of Qin Shu's mouth off.

"Where are there so many people in the Ming army?" Tan Shu was shocked.

"War is like a snowball. Naturally, it will roll more and more."

Tauru understates.

But Qin Shu was shocked: "The Ming army bulldozed all the chieftains east of Ensi Mansion?"

"Basically, there are only a few little chieftains hiding in the ravines. For a year at most, the whole of Guangxi will be dominated by the Han Chinese!"

Tao Lu's face was full of pride, his father might be able to become a knight based on this battle.

He is also going to Beijing to attend the martial arts lecture hall.

The future looks bright.

Based on his merits in this battle, he will definitely be personally edicted by His Majesty.

He needs to think carefully about how to deal with His Majesty's test.

Qin Shu was stunned for a long time, but he didn't react.

The news among the chieftains is blocked and they do not communicate with each other.

Therefore, Qin Shu only thought that Fang Ying was here to beat him and take care of some disobedient little toasts.

Unexpectedly, most of Guangxi was flattened.

After being stunned for a while, he struggled to kneel down: "Mr. Tao!"

"For my granddaughter's sake, please, leave a way for my granddaughter to survive!"

"My descendants are willing to submit to the Ming Dynasty!"

"I am willing to submit to the Ming Dynasty!"

Qin Shu knows current affairs.

Anyway, he knew that what Daming wanted was a name.

As long as he surrenders, at most let him live in the capital, his son will still manage the land of the two prefectures, and still act as the local emperor.

Because the emperor doesn't care about such border lands.

"Qin Shu, you may not know."

"Your Majesty's decree is to enlighten Guangxi."

"Let everyone in Guangxi speak Chinese, just like the mainland."

"No one is allowed to disobey the king's orders, and no one is allowed to have private weapons. This is the emperor's order!"

"Put away all the unrealistic ideas in your mind."

"In this battle, no one can survive!"

Tao Lu told him word by word.

Qin Shu opened his mouth wide, what is the emperor going to do?

Can the emperor like such a barren land like Guangxi?

why?
"As long as it is within the territory of Daming, no one is allowed to exist, and no one can hear the emperor's order!"

Tao Lu respectfully knelt down in front of the Forbidden City: "Your Majesty is a holy emperor like Taizu and Taizong! Don't rub the sand in your eyes!"

"As for the boy, he's just a mere villager."

"There are more people like me in Daming than there are people in your village!"

Tao Lu smiled at Qin Shu.

Qin Shu was stunned and couldn't believe it.

That year, when the Ming Dynasty conquered Annan.

He caught a glimpse of Emperor Taizong from a distance, and he still has a deep impression on him.

That is his great emperor like the sun and the moon.

Is the current emperor another emperor like Emperor Taizong?
Pfft!
Qin Shu fell to the ground.

He knew that if Daming wanted to take away the chieftain's military power, no chieftain in the world would agree.

Must fight hard.

One village after another was razed and eaten up bit by bit.

This is the key to thoroughly clearing the toast.

Suddenly!

He widened his eyes: "Then my Gu Ling Chieftain's [-] army marched northward, and it wasn't the Qingyuan Mansion? It was my Gu Ling Chieftain?"

"Qin Shu, Qin Shu, you only know!"

Tao Lu laughed: "What do you think my father came all the way to Ensi Mansion for?"

"If he wants to get a title, he can only be a chieftain."

Qin Shu opened his mouth and cried for a long time, "I'm a sinner! I'm a sinner of Gu Ling Tusi!"

At this time, Tao Liu came back.

Said that the old man had already entered the village.

The Grand Master has already begun to clear the nearby cottages.

Tao Liu is a domestic slave of the Tao family. He grew up with Tao Lu and serves his close friend.

And Fang Ying.

He met Zhu Yi in Qingyuan Mansion, rescued Zhu Yi, directly killed the dissident soldiers, and integrated the forces in Zhu Yi's hands.

Then that night, they attacked Gu Ling Chieftain's soldiers.

Killed the whole night.

The dead are countless.

Qin Shu's eldest son died in the army.

Then go all the way west to crusade against Sizhou Prefecture.

at the same time.

Tao divided his troops into multiple groups, and spent half a month clearing the entire Ensi Mansion and Tianzhou Mansion.

Fang Ying received the information and immediately ordered: "Try not to kill babies, pick some with good qualifications, castrate them and send them to the palace to serve His Majesty."

He has been doing this all the time. Since Dayngxia, he has been looking for qualified children, castrated them and sent them to Yeting.

Tao Cheng and Tao Lu are saying goodbye.

Qin Shu had already been executed, and before he died, he begged Tao Lu not to kill his grandson, but to leave an incense stick for the Qin family.

Tao Lu finally moved his heart of compassion, castrated Qin Shu's grandson, Tan Yi, and sent him to the palace, which was considered to have won Qin Shu's heart.

And the largest chieftain entrenched in Ensi Mansion also completely collapsed.

Fang Ying, Zhu Yi, and Tao Cheng led a total of more than [-] troops to continue to suppress Sizhou Mansion, Anlongsi, Zhen'an Mansion, Guishun State, Taiping Mansion, Siming Mansion and so on.

"I don't know when I will be able to serve my father when I come to Beijing!" Tao Lu said goodbye to Tao Cheng.

Tao Cheng is the wolf father.

Since childhood, Tao Lu has been educated with the surname of wolf.

But when they parted, they still shed tears on the spot and grabbed Tao Lu's shoulders: "A good man has ambitions everywhere, and the blessing of the Holy Order is a good thing that many people can't ask for."

"I want to be a knight for my father, and you want to take the imperial examination. My father shouldn't stop you."

"But as a father, I have my own ideals and ambitions."

"I used to be a father, but I still embarked on the road of joining the army. Because of the years in Jiaozhi, I was more than willing to be a father but not enough."

"Lu'er, I'm sorry for your father in order to be a knight."

Tao Cheng talks to his son for the first time.

He had a premonition that he might never see his son again in this life.

Tao Lu burst into tears: "Father is a Juren, and a son is also a Juren. If the father wants to join the army, the son will also join the army. This is to continue the father's ambition!"

"In the days to come, the son will not be able to serve by his side, so I beg the father to take care of his health."

"You are afraid of the cold, you can't hold on for the march, you have to think about yourself."

Tao Cheng patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Father knows."

"Going to Beijing is no better than being at home. It's okay to suffer a little bit, a man just bear it."

"Being a father in Beijing can't be your wings."

"Although your Yue family is powerful, one must rely on oneself, not on the power of others! This is not what a gentleman does."

"do you know?"

Tao Lu kowtowed to express his understanding.

"When you go to Beijing, you must study hard, and don't be complacent just because of a small victory."

"Only by studying can you improve yourself. You need to examine yourself three times every day. You must never forget what your father taught you."

"The aptitude to be a father is very poor, and I will only be an earl in this life."

"But you were smart since you were young, and your father taught you strictly. Your future is limitless. My father hopes that you can become a famous official and good minister, a famous general, and live forever!"

Tao Cheng kept exhorting.

Tauru cried and nodded.

"When you see Your Majesty, don't take the place of your father, and say hello to Your Majesty!"

As he said that, Tao Cheng knelt down facing the Forbidden City: "My humble minister Tao Cheng, thank you for your support! Long live my emperor!"

Respectfully perform three bows and nine kowtows.

Tao Lu burst into tears.

Because he was urged by the imperial decree again, he could not go home to bid farewell to his mother, and had to go on the road immediately.

He will also escort important prisoners and some castrated children, who will be sent to the court.

There are also letters from soldiers of the Zhen Guojun to their families.

As well as some Guangxi specialties, Fang Ying dedicated them to His Majesty.

He led the team and marched north into Beijing.

He turned his head three times a step.

I want to see my father again, and my hometown again, and when I come back, I don’t know what year and month it will be.

in the palace.

Zhu Qiyu received a secret account from Geng Jiuchou.

Geng Jiuchou knelt down in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Corruption is corruption, where are there so many reasons?"

Zhu Qiyu's tone was not kind.

But after reading Meng Jian's confession, combined with the investigation of the factory guard, he felt a little bit embarrassed: "Meng Jian is so selfless, he took all the blame and pinned it on himself."

"And then die."

"He is indeed talented. It's a pity that I let him out to be a governor."

"Meng Jian is dead, so don't investigate further."

"Leave a posthumous name."

"Alas, several hundred thousand taels of silver are not enough to cover expenses. What has his family done?"

Zhu Qiyu suddenly asked: "Geng Jiuchou, tell me the truth, how much does your family spend a year?"

"Reporting to your majesty, I have never calculated it, but I estimate that it will cost one million taels of silver." Geng Jiuchou whispered.

"So many?" Zhu Qiyu was surprised.

"Your Majesty, Meng Jian is right."

"Officials all have their own ostentation. For example, Wei Chen is now the Minister of Household Affairs. Compared with before, he spends tens of thousands of taels more every month just on ostentation."

Geng Jiuchou observed the emperor's face carefully, and said: "Recently, I have taken in another concubine, and the concubine's family will also give some."

"There are also relatives in the family, relatives from outside the family, and they all move around during the holidays."

"The little servants and maids in the family have to take care of it."

"As well as relatives, you have to move around."

"Weichen's family is considered to be thrifty, otherwise it would be several million taels a year."

This number really shocked Zhu Qiyu.

Don't think that those servants who are raised are all paper people, and they are all gold-absorbing caves.

Anyone who doesn't need money to take care of them will not act loyally. Some people know that they are greedy, but they have to pretend not to know.

It is not easy to tame servants and control people's hearts.

"Even if the government raises salary, it will still be greedy."

"Where can I get the money to give them several million taels of silver a year?"

Zhu Qiyu knew that as long as he was an official, he had to be greedy.

Otherwise, how can we show that we are different from the common people?

Where does the sense of superiority come from?

Greedy.

"How do you think this matter should be handled?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are already swarms of insects in the household department. Now that we have checked, let's check to the end!"

"Kick out all those old oily people from the household department."

"Enable new people and reorganize the household department."

Geng Jiuchou is the Minister of the Household Department who wants to take it seriously.

He was also guessing the emperor's thoughts.

The emperor did not punish Zhang Feng, which means that the emperor did not intend to kill them all.

"I plan to change the system."

Zhu Qiyu's purpose is to seize the cabinet.

Instead of dealing with some corrupt criminals.

Just ask them to return the money.

Who is it that is not the same corruption?
As long as the money is spit out, the treasury will be abundant, and everyone will be happy.

I will go to the new province to work.

As soon as Geng Jiuchou's eyes darkened, he knew that the emperor didn't mean to be drastic.

"Geng Qing, don't worry."

"The restructuring of the six ministries does not conflict with the investigation of corruption."

"According to the functions, the Ministry of Households is divided into six divisions: the household registration department, the agriculture department, the finance department, the military supply department, the storage department and the miscellaneous department."

"Registration Department manages household registration;"

"The Department of Agriculture is in charge of the land;"

"The Financial Secretary is in charge of taxes, revenue and expenditure, salaries, etc.;"

"The Quartermaster is in charge of military pay, ordnance, etc.;"

"The warehouse manager manages the warehouses of the world;"

"The miscellaneous department is in charge of other things."

Zhu Qiyu said slowly: "Take out the six departments of the Ministry of Cleaning Officials and form a separate department."

The Cleaning Department is responsible for supervising the localities within the ministries.

Is it useful to regulate yourself?

Geng Jiuchou heard that the emperor wanted to take advantage of the restructuring and completely take over power.

"The right servant is the chief officer of each department, and the left servant is responsible for assisting the minister in handling official affairs."

"Set up a bureau under the department, divide the six departments into detailed bureaus, and let the doctor be the chief officer of each bureau."

Zhu Qiyu has been thinking about it for a long time.

How to receive the authority of civil servants?
Restructuring and taking power.

"Your Majesty has considered it carefully, and I have no objection." What could Geng Jiuchou say?
It can only be said that the emperor was too greedy for power.

Being too greedy for power can easily lead to disaster, Your Majesty.

"We'll discuss it tomorrow morning, I'll talk to you first." Zhu Qiyu laughed.

Morning the next day.

It aroused great repercussions, and most people in the DPRK and China opposed it.

"I have divided the internal functions in detail, is there anything wrong?" Zhu Qiyu asked casually.

The Fengtian Hall suddenly stopped.

There is shit under everyone’s butts without checking.

The emperor is now playing the banner of investigating the six departments, just waiting to see who is in favor and who is against, and whoever opposes will be investigated until the end.

"Your Majesty, it is indeed possible to subdivide functions."

Hu Wei smiled wryly and said, "But Your Majesty has to investigate and reorganize six ministries. The north is at war, and the south is also at war."

"Your Majesty, human energy is limited."

"There are also a lot of courtiers."

"Can you wait for which side to stop before implementing the next decision?"

That's right.

The courtiers were all so tired that they hit the back of their heads with their feet.

He was still terrified, not knowing which day he would be killed.

The emperor simply did not treat his courtiers as human beings.

"Old Madam Fu's words are justified."

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Then after the restructuring is over, take a break for a while, and I won't bother you anymore."

Who can believe this?
"This matter will be finalized. How to divide it will be discussed by the cabinet ministers. The restructuring will be completed before the end of the year."

Zhu Qiyu made a final decision: "Especially the Department of Cleaning Officials, I plan to use the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Department of Supervision, and the Department of Cleaning Officials to do the duty of picking up the world."

"Specifically, the important ministers of the cabinet will discuss it again. After the discussion is completed, hand it over. I will discuss it after reading it."

No room for courtiers to object.

"By the way, Li Jin has another good news. His army has arrived in Helin. I am also hesitating. Should I stop and digest the territory I now occupy?"

Digest ass!
What do you use to digest those grasslands and barren land?

What's the use of occupying it!
The courtiers all slandered.

Now that there are millions more mouths in Beijing, the water transport is almost unable to support it.

If you continue to transport grain to the north.

The Central Plains does not know how many people will starve to death.

Wang Hong knelt down emotionally, "Your Majesty, please order Uncle Xiangcheng to stop!"

Zhu Qiyu was surprised.

"Your Majesty, the rations in Gyeonggi are under enormous pressure."

"If the border continues to be pushed northward."

"The territory has expanded, and we can't manage it."

"If you don't get tired of eating, it's better to digest Rehe slowly, and then go to the land of peace."

Wang Hong said earnestly: "I have advised Your Majesty, Your Majesty should know that this year the whole country may not have enough food to eat, so we can no longer waste it on the road. The north should stop emigrating and slaughter cattle and sheep on the spot to prepare for the winter."

"September hasn't arrived yet, what winter is this?" Zhu Qiyu was an amateur.

In Mobei in September, the cold air has already hit.

Yiming explained.

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "I was reckless, what Wang Qing said is exactly."

"It's really time to prepare for winter."

"Will the fleeing Tatar soldiers harass the border?"

Wang Yue stood up with a limping leg: "Report to Your Majesty, I don't think so."

When Zhu Qiyu saw Wang Yue, he was in high spirits, and the confident Wang Yue came back.

"tell me the story."

Zhu Qiyu valued Wang Yue very much.

"Your Majesty, you are a Tartar moron."

"According to intelligence, the Tatars are scattered and either move westward or northeastward to seize the territory of Wuliangha, but they don't want to border on Ming Dynasty."

"That's why I concluded that the Tatars would never dare to call."

"On the contrary, it's the northwest, so we must guard against the Oirats plundering the border."

"Daming is having a hard time this year, and Wala must be having a hard time too."

"The battle of Xuanzhen certainly hurt Wala, but it was only hurt."

After Wang Yue finished speaking, Zhu Qing nodded in agreement.

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Northwest, don't worry, there are Fan Guang, Guo Deng, Kou Shen, Wang Lai, Zhao Fu, Gong Yongji and others sitting in the town, and Wala will not get any benefits when he comes."

"Just as Wang Qing said, let the northern provinces and capitals prepare to hoard winter grain."

"Fang Ying's three strategies to flatten Guangxi. After reading it, I don't know how to place millions of barbarians."

Fang Ying already has millions of soldiers under his command.

According to his prediction, in the spring of next year, Guangxi will be completely wiped out.

All that's left is to teach slowly.

Within three years, Guangxi had completely become the hinterland of Ming Dynasty.

Bai Gui knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the three strategies proposed by Governor Fang are all good strategies, but they are difficult to implement."

"Education, those barbarians don't even know Chinese characters, how to educate them?"

"Immigration, now there is a shortage of people in Huguang, Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangxi and Fujian, and there is even a shortage of people in the northwest."

"Give it to Guangxi, governors from all over the country have to give memorials to important people, where can the center go to get people?"

"Let's talk about migration."

"Using this strategy to disrupt Anan Kingdom is indeed a good way."

"The question is, the Annan country is peaceful and the people are safe. Let's let people go there. If a war breaks out, how can we fight a foreign war with Guangxi?"

"This year, the Ming Dynasty will definitely not be able to fight anymore. Not only is the food unable to sustain it, but the soldiers are also very tired. It is time to recuperate and let the soldiers rest and rest."

"The three strategies are excellent, but the center cannot implement them!"

Bai Gui smiled wryly.

"What's Bai Qing's strategy?" Zhu Qiyu looked at him.

"There is nothing we can do about it." Bai Gui kowtowed.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Yu Qian, who also smiled bitterly.

It is easy to raz the chieftain, but difficult to manage it.

"Lack of people in Guangxi?"

Zhu Qiyu muttered to himself: "There is no shortage of capital..."

Hu Wei's face changed: "Please cut off this thought, Your Majesty!"

Are you the roundworm in my belly?
Zhu Qiyu smiled wryly: "Old Madam Fu, I just want the clan to go to Guangxi."

"Absolutely not!" Hu Yan said firmly.

Yu Qian also knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the clan should not release the capital easily. You can go to Mobei, but Guangxi is absolutely impossible."

Because Guangxi is mountainous, it is also a place where chieftains are entrenched.

It is easy to rebel, but difficult to put down.

If a Nanming is created, it will have extremely bad political influence.

Zhu Qiyu thought about it: "Henan and Shandong are safe to defend. How about sending the clan to these two provinces? Then immigrate from these two provinces to Guangxi."

"Your Majesty, it would cost a lot to emigrate like this." Hu Wei thought it was feasible.

Zhu Qiyu became happy when he mentioned money.

The seizure that night has been counted in the palace, but there is still no specific figure. How much money do you think there is?
"Misters, what do you think of this arrangement?"

"I conscripted a group of homeless young men from Henan and Shanxi to join the army."

"Then build more guards in Guangxi and move them into Guangxi."

"There are no military households, but civilian households."

"In fact, it is to turn them into new Guangxi people."

"And Fang Ying's barbarians will not be disbanded. They will all be changed into regular troops. After they are disbanded, they will be filled into the Tianxia Guard."

"Especially in Nanzhili and Zhejiang."

"Let the bachelors in the guards go to Guangxi to marry native women, and the barbarians marry Han women."

"In this way, the problem will be solved."

Guangxi relocated millions of men, but toast was nothing.

The courtiers were stunned: "Your Majesty, how can those natives be worthy of marrying Han women?"

"Then what do you say?"

"If you want to make him Chinese, you can only marry a Han woman."

"I can't bear it either, there's no way."

Zhu Qiyu was very helpless: "And the relocation of the barbarians, I don't know what else will happen. As long as they are willing to leave Guangxi, the problem will be solved."

Hu Ming knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, this strategy may cost a lot. There is indeed money in the internal funds, but it is too wasteful to spend so much."

In the eyes of the courtiers, no one regards the lives of the people at the bottom as their lives.

Especially those natives.

According to the concept of courtiers, directly buried alive, once and for all.

"If you pay some money, just pay some money."

Zhu Qiyu is rich and powerful: "The focus is on women from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, I'm afraid they will look down on natives who are ugly, dark and can't speak Chinese."

This is true.

Wang Hong said with a smile: "Your Majesty previously issued a decree to order criminals to go to the Mobei Fortress. Many of these criminals have wives in their families. It is better to give their wives to the natives and get rid of them once and for all."

How ruthless it is depends on you.

"This is a good idea. They are all sinners anyway. If they go to Mobei, they will never come back. There is no point in having a wife. Just marry those natives."

Zhu Qiyu also has a deeper meaning, he wants to disturb the foundation of the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River.

These barbarian soldiers are good candidates.

"Guangxi also lacks education, so we have sent a decree to recruit some talents from among the people to serve as officials in Guangxi."

"And Shanxi, Henan, and Shandong are free."

"Fill in the Zhu family who expelled the clan."

Zhu Qiyu is also easing the pressure on Gyeonggi.

"Your Majesty, Shanxi is not allowed!"

Hu Wei said seriously: "Shanxi is a place of great beauty, and the clan cannot be allowed to enter."

"Then let's go to Henan and Shandong. Hubei, right? Go to Hubei." Zhu Qiyu said.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

The courtier kowtowed.

"The northwest is vast and sparsely populated. Kou Shen always gave me a memorial, saying that Gansu is barren and there are too few people."

"I plan to send some clan members there."

"What do you think, gentlemen?"

Zhu Qiyu actually asked Hu Wei.

Hu Hui thought carefully.

The land of Guanzhong has completely declined.

Even if some clans try to rebel, the success rate is small. The key point is that the northwest is at risk of being turned green. It may be a good thing for the clan to go to the northwest to become gentry.

In the north, except for Shanxi, the clan can be allowed to go.

"His Majesty."

"The veteran believes that when governing the northwest, one should first govern religion."

"Hu and Han people live together in the northwest, with most being Hu and a few being Han. There is even a risk of Hu becoming a Hu."

"Your Majesty's filling the northwest with the clan is a good thing to turn the barbarian into a man."

"It's just that the veteran feels that we should move Buddhism and Taoism to the northwest, go with the clan, and let the Han wind sweep the northwest."

"If you want to govern the Northwest, you even have to change its teachings."

Hu Yan said very carefully.

Because the northwest is very complicated, it is far away from the capital, and it is not a king.

The point is that the land in the northwest is barren.

Cannot support too many people.

Even if immigrants go there, the land cannot afford it.

It is difficult and difficult to govern.

"Where's Duke Xing?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Yu Qian.

Yu Qian hesitated: "I don't dare to speak rashly, why don't you ask Governor Kou to see his opinion."

"Yes, there is no rush for immigration."

"I'll let Kou Shen talk about how to rule Gansu."

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Wang Qing is right to worry. The clan and its huge in-law relationship are gathered in the capital, and now there are millions of people gathered outside the capital."

“The food pressure in Gyeonggi is too great.”

"Move out as appropriate, see where there is a lack of population, and fill it there."

I can tell.

The emperor was in an excellent mood.

Because he got what he wanted.

Through the restructuring, the imperial power further expanded, and the civil servant group fell from vice emperor to wage earner. Could the emperor be unhappy?

It can be seen that the emperor's eyes have moved to the north.
